CHICAGO, ILL, July 5.-Easier feeling pre-
Vailed ri In the wheat +b pit during
owing chiefly to the tone of cables. August
started al nc, but free selling quickly put it
down to Il}5c. Speculation, however, was not
sufficient to keep the crowd busy, and was con-
dCcted chiefly by sCalpers, outside orders being
greatly restricted The visible supply state
ment was surprise Everything expected
decrease, but they were not prepared for
falling of 2J7,lOO bushels. The effect on
prices were filming up of almost of &C. The
visible supply found August at Tl2aQ Tl4c, and
caused that option to advance at once to 1l25c.
Trade. however, dragged very much, and but
little business was done, and August closed for
the day at 1s4C, Corn was active, weak
and unsettled, and trading was Of
a larger volume than for some days.
General rains in the corn belt created weak
ness and caused considerable corr to be sold
for country account. Offerings were liberal by
longs and demand was mainly for July and
August, with very little Inquiry for more de-
ferred futures. The visible supply showed q
decrease of $4,000 bushels. August oDened %
a &c lower at 57G371Ic and declined TO $3.50
So "a the closing figure. Provisions mOder-
ately active, but the market although exhibit
ing considerable steadiness, was not quite so
severe during losing days of the week. The
frmness of the hog market had strengthening
influence, but an unsettled feeling in the grain
market made operators somewhat timid and
they were not inclined to trade in large lines.
5 ocks reported on hand were quite liberal,
larger than operators had anticipated, and this
also mad some effects; offerings were fair early
and prices ruled lower, trading being chiefly
in August and September deliveries. Later
the market was steadier with fair purchases
and prices rallied again, August lard opened
at Sc 6I-{ and declined to S6 62]s, closing gures
